Here, we are making a small signal AF amplifier and can use any of the hundreds of transistors. The choice of the transistor depends on the frequency range and the power level. There are just some assumptions that you’ll need and some data about the transistor you will use. Common Emitter Amplifier with Electret Microphoneĭesigning a transistor amplifier is not that difficult. This is a power gain of 10log(12.5/2* 10 -3) = 38dB whereas the voltage gain is 0dB. The power in the output is 10 2/8= 12.5W. The power at the input is V 2/R = 10 2/50k = 2mW. You might be mistaken to think that the gain is 1. Say you have an amplifier with an input resistance of 50kΩ and an output resistance of 8Ω, and you measured the voltage on the input as 10V and the voltage on the output as 10V. In a power amplifier, this becomes more important.
Hence, you just add them up to get the total system gain.
This means that a voltage gain of 10 times is 20log10 or 20dB, and a voltage gain of 100x is 40dB.īut why do this? Each one might have different gains in a system with multiple stages, and in RF systems, even attenuation. Gain is also often specified in dB where, It is worth mentioning that they may have different resistances affecting the useful power that can be supplied. We may refer to gain as “times” or “X,” i.e., 10X, which means that the voltage at the output is ten times bigger than the input voltage. Voltage gain would normally refer to small-signal amplifiers (e.g., op-amps) power gain would be used for power amplifiers (e.g., Hi-Fi amplifiers or transmitter amplifiers). Gain refers to the amount of amplification and the ratio between the output and input signals. Radio signal or RF amplifiers are a completely different kind of amplifier and will be covered in detail in a separate article. We will also use a radio amplifier, typically from 500kHz to tens of GHz, with a gray area in between usually for ultrasonic and video, which could use both techniques. Radio amplifiers work above that right up to several GHz.įor the sample project, we will use an audio amplifier in the 0-20kHz range, with emphasis on low noise and low distortion.
